Who Wins: Microsoft's Seinfeld Ads or Apple's Mac vs. PC Ads?

Though the second Microsoft ad featuring Jerry Seinfeld is a lot funnier than the first, I can't help but feel that it's still lacking . . . direction? Humor? As a die-hard Seinfeld fan, I'm disappointed that these spots aren't as "Jerry" as his humor on the show was, and even more disappointed because I don't really know what Microsoft is trying to say.

Contrast that with their rival Apple, who've spun the Get a Mac ad campaign off the notion that Mac users are cool and PC users are, well, John Hodgman, and I have to call Apple as the winner again. I get the point, they don't meander, and they entertain me.

Now putting aside your preference for Apple or Microsoft, tell me, which ads do you like more?

im a mac now. i was lost but i am now found. i seriously dont know how i went so long with a PC, I mean looking back, they are so confusing and take like 50 steps to do something that a mac can do in about 2. i always look forward to macs new ads. they put a smile on my face every time i see them because they are oh so cheeky, and thats exactly how i act. i can relate and that justin long kid is c u t e HOT!!!!!! haha
mac ads are the best. pc's suck get used to it

This is an easy one. I hate Seinfeld. The whole show was a waste of time. Frasier was better, I don't care what you say. But I think the Mac commercials were funnier. Even though I would take a PC over an Apple any day.

Apple wins in my book once again. The Microsoft ads are pointless. I like Jerry (dislike Bill after the decision to still sell Vista even though they all knew it was cr*p) and I was hoping the ads would be funny (aka classic Seinfeld humor) however it lacked so much (mostly sense.) I love the Apple guy; witty and the ads make a point.

I think as more ads come out, the message will come together in a clearer way for a normal audience (as in, those who view the commercial as it is and do not try to find the meanings). That being said, there's a whole lot of metaphor and personification in these ads.
